Chiroso Washed

Arnulfo's Chiroso is a true family endeavor, with everyone contributing to the daily tasks of harvesting, processing, and drying the coffee. We fell in love with its exquisite flavor—creamy marshmallow with sweet notes of maple syrup and a bright mandarin acidity—making it a delightful coffee to enjoy. After fermenting in cherry for four days, the coffee is depulped and undergoes an additional eight-day fermentation. This extended process enhances the natural sweetness of the cherries. Thanks to the farm's high-altitude location, fermentation occurs slowly, allowing for a richer and more complex flavor development.
